The Request
I am gathering data on how card sleeves affect the thickness of a stack of cards. If you use card sleeves, I would appreciate it if you would take a moment to do the following:
1. Make a deck of 50 random item cards (with sleeves). The count needs to be accurate.
2. Measure the height of the deck, in mm. Don't weight the cards down or otherwise apply pressure to them; I want a measure of their height as they would be "just sitting there" in a deck. (Important: round the measurement up, e.g. 1.2mm rounds to 2mm).
3. Post here with the height you measured (in mm, rounded up) and the thickness of the sleeves you use (in microns).
Note: I suspect that the results might not be quite the same as just accounting for the sleeve thickness, due to tiny air pockets or other imperfections. Hence, I am interested in getting some real-world data.
Why am I doing this?
As you may know, the deck editor in Strange Eons includes the ability to make "fold-up" or "tuck" boxes. When you are editing the dimensions of one of these boxes, there are sizing helpers that will help you create a correctly-sized box. (For example, you can request a box that holds "50 investigator cards".) Now that FFG has put out a line of sleeves, I'd like to add support for sleeves to the sizing helpers, hence the need for real-world data.
Cheers,
Chris
